OR: Male Logic 101
dh once remarked that I made him look too perfect on this blog. hmmph. Maybe that's just because I don't get it. I'm not fluent in what you call "male" or "man". Witness:
dh (gleefully): Look what I bought myself today! (Displays purchase, which pisses me off to no end because...)
TCWH: WHAT the HELL am I supposed to get you for your birthday when you keep telling me, "X number of shopping days left! Better order now!" And you go out and buy every earthly thing under the sun for yourself ON, BEFORE, and AROUND your birthdate before I can even set foot out the door or hand to a mouse?
dh: I had to pay $4.00!
TCWH:....????WHAT? WHAT DOES $4.00 have to do with anything?
dh: I only did it because {equally infuriating male} did it!
TCWH: I seriously. DO. NOT. KNOW. WHAT. YOU. ARE. TALKING. ABOUT. You only did it because {e.i.m.} did it? What's that got to do with your birthday present?
dh: Well, you see. I had to go in and pay $4.00 for the golf we were playing, so I decided that I didn't want to have a $4.00 charge on the card, so I should have a $25.00 charge on the card.
TCWH:....
::computing:: so does that mean that if I don't want to put a $4.00 Bloomingdale's charge on my card I can put a $250.00 on there? You know, since obviously BIGGER = BETTER.
Please, men, explain.
